By Craig AndertonMultiband dynamics
Definition:
A dynamics processor that splits the incoming audio into more than one frequency band, and can apply separate control over dynamics parameters for each band. processors can reduce plosives and fix excessive sibilanceDefinition:
A high-frequency, hissing sound produced by speaking or singing consonants such as "s." When excessive, it can produce an unpleasant distortion that can be minimized with a De-Esser signal processor. See De-Esser.. Mixing expert Craig Anderton outlines a few quick tips toward using compressionDefinition:
1. Reducing the dynamic range of an audio or video signal for consistency, to keep it from exceeding the available headroom, or providing a special effect. 2. With data, using a process to reduce the amount of data. Compression can be lossless, where decompressing replicates the original signal, or lossy, where compression occurs by judging some data as unnecessary, and can therefore be discarded from the file. to make sure your p’s don’t overly “pop” and your s’s don’t cause irritation.
